Translation = The company offered him a settlement option that probably included more than he was entitled to so that he would agree to sign a non-disclosure agreement and keep it out of the press. Otherwise he could roll the dice and try to sue for unjust dismissal, which he'd probably lose.

Moral of the story? Don't act like a fucking idiot in public.

So what happens if a company finds out you were/are a MPA or stripper or even a server at a SC or receptionist at a MP? Can they fire you?

Under C-36 sex work is not illegal

The answer is yes, as Perry Mason said: "You never need cause to fire anyone. But if you don't have cause, then you must provide reasonable severance."

Your woman is distracting me Gameboy. Any chance she is MPA or SP in Toronto. :)

Bottom line the beer thrower should count his/her blessing because if that beer landed on his head and suffered major injury or possibly death, he/she would have been locked up rather than dealing with his/her employment issues.

Unless you have a good union

Agree.... I see the company if he knows them all, saying "look we can't have this" and him maybe seeing how bad it is saying yea, I understand and accepting some sort of package... How do you even return to work and look everyone in the eye..... Stressful situation

If he truly was the ass that threw the can, his employer and coworkers would know strait away if he was the type of guy with the temperment to do that.
And if that was the case im certain they have been waiting for the opportunity to drop the company asshole.

I'm afraid I can't help you with that thesun. lol

Worse than that, had the beer can thrower hit the player, the Jays could have been forced to forfeit the game and lose the series. Think of how that would have gone over with the millions of Jays fans. He would've had to live with being "the guy who potentially prevented the Jays from winning the World Series". How would you like that legacy?

I think Yoga was asking if being a sex worker was just cause to fire (IOW, C-36 doesn't applaud sex work or bring it into the mainstream - they regard sex workers as victims which, alternatively, might NOT constitute cause to fire?).

At the end of the day, we don't know what the cops know, and he was only charged, not convicted.

We still don't know and yet in the court of public opinion, he is a jackass.

There's always been a court of public opinion, always will be. Only it's a lot bigger now with social media.

They can still fire you. Now your union may or may not help you. It all depends. Jut look at Jian Ghomeshi...
union could force issue to be decided by arbitrator

The CEO of Postmedia is Paul Godfrey - former head of the Blue Jays. It is also a media publishing company that is sensitive to it's image. I'm sure Paul Godfrey was more than pissed it was one of his employees but the press release said that he was no longer working with the company. That suggests to me that there was a severance package that allowed a mutually beneficial termination of services.

Yes, but the court of public opinion is not a legal trial.
No it's not, but sometimes it carries a lot of weight. Just look at OJ. He was found not guilty in the court of law. Public opinion? A whole different story.

The court of public opinion played very little role in OJ's case. Regardless of what people thought his demise did not come about until he was found guilty in a court of law.

Donald Trump's future, however, will be dictated by the court of public opinion.

Yes, but in O.J's case, the public at large saw the trial on TV and eventually had access to all the facts of his case, and rendered what probably is a correct opinion.

In the case of this alleged beer can tosser, we still don't have the facts. (Personally, I think he did it, but I wouldn't vilify him, because it's been blown out of proportion).
